Hey! Check out this new toy: The Akeda Dovetail Jig! What makes Akeda's dovetail jig different from the competition you ask? Well, their system features a unique clamping system. It's closed system compared to the others. By closed I mean that the cutting jigs are inside the sturdy metal box, giving you a solid top to set your router on while cutting. Then, there are three different dedicated clamping positions for your board. Akeda dovetail jigs are the only jigs to let you adjust your through dovetail pin angle according to your stock thickness(maximum board thickness is 3/4").
The Akeda Dovetail Jig is extremely easy to set up and use as the video below will demonstrate. They provide a great instruction manual on cutting dovetails that is sold separately or you can download from their website for free at: www.akeda.com. As far as health and safety goes, the Akeda Jig is handsdown the most innovative with the DC16, a one piece, snap-in dust collector port (sold separately). I'll shut up now so you can watch the video!
